Cool stuff coming out

According to this, they're going to be reprinting the old Gold Key comics based on the Irwin Allen TV shows from the 60s--Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Time Tunnel, and Land of the Giants.

I am not a huge Irwin Allen fan, but I do have a soft spot for Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (which I caught in syndication, not during its initial run, thankyouverymuch!) and I will probably want that first volume.

What surprises me here, though, is that they don't mention a Lost in Space comic. Did they not make one? That seems like a lost opportunity, since it was easily the most kid-friendly of all the Irwin Allen shows and the one that more people seem to have heard of.

If I had to guess, maybe rights issues? I know the Trek items were in the Trek CD collection released recently, and while I loved "Voyage" too (and caught it the same way), it and the other Irwin Allen items might not be wrapped up in as many hands?

Ah, well, you're right, a great opportunity lost if "Lost" isn't part of the package.

Take it and run,
